According to him, he was picked up when ICE operations were at their peak in the US last year.
He described the living conditions in the ICE detention facility as harsh and said they were meant to break you emotionally and mentally, making you want to seek deportation to your home country.
Living in an ICE detention facility
The young man alleged that during his 10-month stay, he became sick at one point due to poor infrastructure and lack of access to clean drinking water.
“The conditions in there just break you and make you want to ask your officer for deportation, just sign it and get out of the country.”
He said it took a certain level of determination and resilience to endure, and he was glad he made it through.
Looking visibly sad, the man thanked his family for their support, expressing sorrow at not being able to reunite with his wife, who had been pregnant at the time.
“My wife had to endure a lot when I was taken away by ICE, and she was pregnant.”
After returning home, the young man said he has opened a business venture and is doing his best to ensure its success.
